Progressives Prefer Al-Jazeera Over Glenn Beck

Every once in a while a tweet appears that's so silly, it must be a joke. Like this one from Glenn Beck: "Before Al-Jazeera bought Current TV, TheBlaze looked into buying it but we were rejected by progressive owners." Guess what? He's totally serious. The Wall Street Journalcaught the detail
in its coverage: "Glenn Beck's The Blaze approached Current about
buying the channel last year, but was told that 'the legacy of who the
network goes to is important to us and we are sensitive to networks not
aligned with our point of view,' according to a person familiar with the
negotiations."

Glenn Beck is a domestic terrorist in his own right. Just like Rush Limbaugh. They have done more to foster hate in this country than any other “journalist” and I welcome Al Jazeera over the CIB network, The Blaze or Fox News any day.
